I understand checking your DNA to see if there are any likely genetic diseases.

I don't understand spending money to see how Irish you are. 

Don't you want to know if you are descended from Genghis Khan?

Americans are obsessed with either being Irish, Scottish, or native American.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Europe. After all the #1 genealogy show is from the UK. And it is not like it is a huge thing for Americans, I am not sure why people think it is prevalent. Cal and I are the only ones really into it on here and the only reason I am is because I like history.
